How did it start
Catarina always liked to buy postcards when she traveled, but she realized that in Portugal there were almost no postcards with identity and artistic quality. It was then that she thought,
"Why not create them myself?"
Thus began this project of original illustration, which celebrates Portuguese culture and heritage.
